Who Are We?
We, the women of MFA are passionate and radiant. We are priceless daughters of The King whose love for God is infectious. We come from all walks of life, and we each travel a unique journey. We are girls, moms, working women, aunts, wives, daughters, sisters, widows, friends, singles, been-marrieds, cousins, housewives, young adults and grandmas.
We believe…
… that every woman is a unique and beautiful design, created by the hands of God himself. We believe that every woman can be complete and whole, showing off every beautiful aspect that is inherent in her God-brushed design!
We exist to…
~ Empower you in discovering your unique God-given shape and becoming your best self, in complete wholeness 
“…Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!…bring honor to (His) name in every generation.” (Psalms 45:4b, 17a NLT)
~ Encourage you to connect, share, be transparent and cultivate key relationships so that you may experience a true, refreshing depth of the soul
“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT) 
~ Equip you with the tools, resources, and accountability needed to know who you are, what you were designed for and how to reach your best potential 
“(The pastors’ and teachers’) responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:12 NLT) 
We have discovered a powerful secret…”Life Change happens better as we gather in CIRCLES, not ROWS!”
